    Mayweather deserves more money, because he brings in more money. It makes no sense for anyone to try and say he's wrong for asking for the bigger share, because he makes more.

    The fight, like any huge fight should be in Vegas.

    Drug testing should not be negotiable, because there is no reason not to use the best testing in sports. As shown by Mayweather, Ward, Green, Abraham(and past opponents), and now even Mosley, clean fighters won't have a problem taking Olympic style testing.

    Belts are worthless in boxing these days, so I understand not wanting to pay sanctioning fees.

    Mosley was firing some rights on Cotto but Cotto had the chin to stand up and the boxing ability to win that night. Manny will teach him to jab more I'm sure.

    Found it: The part about money split is burried in the middle of his article on the monthly Yahoo p4p rankings. Kind of an educational read cause until I read this article I didn't really understand how the money from PPV is split up.

    In all honesty I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd get a slightly larger share of the split, mostly because he puts a lot of promotional effort in. This may be due to the self-motivated effort due to the incentive of not having a company slash into his pay, but either way he puts in the PR work.

    manny arms are to short to jab effectively against someone like mayweather.
    He gonna have a hard time establishing that jab as well as the distance.

    You dont have to believe it, but it sure sounds reasonable doesnt it? As I said, Im sure some of the demands are negotiable and some are not. This sounds like a pretty reasonable starting point considering what fights both sides have come off of. There is no information here thats sounds way off base, its simply the start of negotiating a big fight and what FLoyds side has started with. Concessions will be made by both sides, count on it.

    No not that Manny I meant Manny Steward. I was refering to him teaching Cotto to jab more.

    Sarcasm, hopefully?
    Even Floyd knows Manny is a huge draw... I'd say he doesn't predict getting 60/40, just wants to get a heads up in negotiations
    But if he really is serious, then I don't see this fight happening... especially with the drug testing.
